Installation

Here we try to make installing Ubuntu Satanic Edition as easy as possible. If you're an advanced user, see the Quick Install guide.

Ubuntu Satanic Edition is available for Ubuntu Hardy 8.04, Gutsy 7.10, Feisty 7.04 and Edgy 6.10 including both Gnome (Ubuntu) and KDE (Kubuntu) variants. We suggest installing over Ubuntu Christian Edition, but the standard Ubuntu will do fine. Just download from here:

or here:

...and follow the instructions on those sites to get the basic operating system installed.

The recommended way to install Ubuntu SE is from our secure APT repository. This makes installation, upgrading and removal very simple. If you don't want to use this then you can get the packages and themes from the download page or the individual wallpapers from the screenshots page.

Download the Secure Key

Ubuntu SE is stored in a secure APT repository, so you'll need to download the key before installation. This is standard practice and if you haven't done it before it's very simple; just do the following:

Run a terminal window (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and cut and paste the following command into it (note that you cut the text by highlighting it with the left mouse button and paste it into the terminal with the middle mouse button):

wget -q http://ubuntusatanic.org/ubuntu-se-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Adding the Repository

Now we'll add the software repository to your system.

Go to System->Administration->Software Sources->Third Party Software->Add and enter the following APT line:

deb http://ubuntusatanic.org/hell hardy main

Note: If you using an older version of Ubuntu or you're not sure what version you have, click here.
